With the first wave of tourists, it also added a bit of confidence to everyone, hoping that more people, especially rich people, would come and let them do a few businesses.

It is said that everything is only difficult at the beginning, as long as it starts and continues, it will be easy.

After the first wave came, people soon came one after another.

The further you go, the more people come, some alone, some in a row.

People who just walk up on their own and don't choose to sit in a sedan chair, such people are naturally not their target.

It didn't take long for an oxcart to arrive.

I heard someone enviously say to the people on the side, "Fourth aunt, Ran Pingbo, Aunt Lidong, your business will come first." ”

"Alas, it seems that we may be the first to open today!"

One of the men who was called answered by a woman, who got up with the others and walked to the ox cart that was slowly coming this way.

Approaching the ox cart, the woman asked enthusiastically, "This little brother, do you want to store the ox cart, two pennies for the storage fee, and you will be in charge of it all day." ”

In such a wilderness, it is not the official place in the town to store ox carts, and a cattle cart is worth a lot of money, if you lose it, it will be a big game, and people dare not let people take care of it, so they have to refuse.

When they came, they intended to let the rest of the people go up to play, leaving one of them to look after their ox carts.

The woman who took the lead was very shrewd, and she could see their concerns at once, and even took out a large string of bamboo pieces to show everyone, "See, we are serious people who have been approved by the Xue family, and this is the bamboo piece made by the Xue family for us." ”

As she spoke, she also turned the back of the bamboo piece over and pointed to the pattern on it, "Look at the words of the Xue family on it." There is also this seal, it is the seal of the Xue family, with the Xue family as a guarantee, we will never lie to you. ”

The people who came to see this bamboo piece exclusive to the Xue family, and after checking it, they also believed them.

After a few men had discussed, they paid for the copper plates, handed them the ox cart, and took the voucher from them and left.

Then they led the ox cart to the designated place and kept it for care.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that the first business today would be the fourth aunt you", some people said enviously.

The woman was happy and modest, "Where, we only have two cents for a car, and we have to take care of it for a whole day, and many individuals divide it equally, and the last person doesn't get much money, how can you be like you young people, you can earn three cents for one trip." ”

The first business got off to a good start, and everyone present was happy.

Not long afterward, two more ox carts came, and the women earned four cents.

Just when those young men were envying them, there were five carriages in the distance.

Those who could get into the carriage were all rich families, and a group of people were instantly excited.

Then they saw that several people had come down from each carriage, some of them were obviously dressed as young ladies and some of them were dressed as sons.

Isn't what they want to earn today is the money of these people, even if there are many people who come to inquire, including the four aunts.

It turned out to be really good luck, a total of nine people were going to sit in a sedan chair, five men and four women, and of course, the maids and maids who followed them.

It's just that the latter two naturally can't have this treatment, and they can only follow the sedan chair later, serving their own lady or son.

In this way, nine of the twelve palanquin drivers received the business at once, and happily carried them up the mountain.

Only three people are left to regretfully wait for the next round.

Alas, no one is to blame, who let them come late.

Moreover, the Xue family has set the rule of first come, first served, and it is not easy for them to break the rules and compete for positions with the people in front, so they can only line up behind.

But it's only later, no, the nine-ride sedan chair is carried away, and the three of them can move to the front.

When the time comes, those people before will have to line up behind their own people when they come down.

And the four aunts were also happy, and earned the storage fee for five carriages.

As time passed, more and more people or ox carts and carriages came over, which also allowed the porters in the back to do business.

There are two main groups of people gathered here.

A wave of porters, young and middle-aged men in the water, do hard work, but earn more, one trip up, one person can earn three cents.

The other group of people are the old and weak, women and children, and they earn the money for the storage of the carriage and horses.

There are a lot of them, two cents for an ox cart and four cents for a horse-drawn cart, so many people are down, and each person can earn a few cents a day at most.

But even if it was a few pennies, it was already a lot for them, and this was something they had won from the Xue family with great difficulty.

It is because their reputation in the Xue family is the best that the Xue family is willing to vouch for them, so that they can earn these copper plates.

Especially many of them were women and maidens.

In the past, in addition to working in the Xue family, who would give them the work that could earn money to these women, at most, they would do embroidery work to earn money for oil and salt.

Unexpectedly, the Xue family didn't choose all those men, but also chose them.

There are more women than men in their group.

With this extra income, they are naturally grateful to the Xue family.

Those who are looking for a porter to sit in a sedan chair, in addition to the young ladies and sons of rich families, of course, there are also some people whose family backgrounds are not too bad, or whose legs and feet are not very neat.

A few pennies is not too expensive for them.

If this is the case at the bottom of the mountain, what about the orchard on the other side of the mountain?

Anyway, early in the morning, Xue Shanjing came to the orchard with a group of hired workers to prepare for the next matters.

Except for some of the long-term workers who work in the Xue family's orchard every day, the others are temporary short-term workers hired a few days ago, and I don't know if they can do it for a long time.

As soon as they arrived, everyone began to set up their own venues.

The Xue family's orchard now has more than 1,000 acres, because there are many varieties, and different varieties are also separated from each other piece by piece, and divided into patches of areas, and different people are responsible for different places.

Some people are responsible for tending the orchards, others are responsible for guiding tourists, giving them directions, giving explanations, or selling fruits and vegetables, etc., and each has different tasks.

The Xue family's classification of tourists is also different.

Some of them are free tourists.

The orchard is accessible to all, but only some areas are open to these people.

There are also some customers who have paid.

There are two, five, ten, twenty, and even five hundred and one tael of silver.

This makes some people wonder, one or twenty yuan is okay, five hundred yuan, or even one or two pieces of silver is too exaggerated, right?

Who would spend so much money on an orchard!
